The US Mission has announced that it will start a no-interview visa renewal program in Nigeria.

The US mission in a statement on its official site explained that the initiative is essential for its continuous obligation to expand and innovate consular administrations notwithstanding the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The statement on the US Embassy partly said, “The U.S. Mission will expand visa services to assist non-immigrant visa applicants in Nigeria who qualify to renew their visa.

“This new application procedure will begin in February at the U.S. Consulate in Lagos and will be extended shortly thereafter to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja.

“The number of qualified applicants who can apply using the new procedures will be limited initially.”

Conditions for qualification for the non-interview visa renewal include an application for a B1/B2, F, M, J (academic only), H, L, or C1/D (combined just) visa, according to Channels news site.
